The Harvard architecture on Arduino and not being able to load code at run time is a real buzz kill. It would be so much better if you could execute out of RAM

The Harvard architecture on Arduino and not being able to load code at run time is a real buzz kill. It would be so much better if you could execute out of RAM so young hobbyists could make their own Apple II grade hobby computer.

Pi, Beaglebone Black, Le Potato, and many other SBCs are proper computers with proper OS support. --------- Back in the 80s, the Microcontroller vs Microcomputer concept wasn't really solidified yet. Yes, the 8051 and Z80 existed, but they were still external memory bus and kinda microprocessor-ish.
